From J. S. Burdon Sanderson   10 April 1875

April 10 1875

Dear Mr Darwin,

If the alterations as I have made them seem to you sufficient I think we may make them without consulting any of those who have already signed, for they involve no change even of words—only change of order & arrangement. The changes are however sufficient I think to avoid risk of misconstruction.1

I am afraid that I shall not be at home tomorrow after 10.30 but I will come and see you before that time or at one oclock if it appears to you desirable. If in passing you will leave a card for me with the hour on it I will understand.2

very truly yours | J B Sanderson
